NetModule Router Software

Linux-Based Software with a Powerful Set of Functionalities

The NetModule Router Software (NRSW) runs on all NetModule devices. This has the advantage that the configuration process and the features are the same on each router (technical limitations excluded). So, if you know how to configure one NetModule device, you can configure them all.

Description

The NRSW is configurable via Web GUI or command line interface (CLI). CLI-PHP, the HTTP frontend to the CLI application, can be used to configure and control the router remotely. Also, configuration files can be deployed via autorun USB. CLI-PHP and autorun USB are enabled in factory configuration, thus can be used for deployment purposes, but are disabled as soon as the admin account has been set up.

The routing options include static routes, multipath, OSPF, BGP and others. With Mobile IP it’s possible to move from one network to another while maintaining a permanent IP address. Also available is Quality of Service (QoS) and various firewall functions. To connect securely to remote sites, the NRSW provides lots of VPN features. Available protocols include OpenVPN and IPSec.

A main feature is the software development kit (SDK), which allows to write own scripts and functions and comes with a comprehensive set of functions for accessing hardware interfaces (e.g. digital I/O ports, GPS, external storage media, serial ports) but also for retrieving system status parameters, sending E-Mail or SMS messages or simply just to configure the router.

Supported by the NRSW are also Linux Containers to integrate additional applications. Containers allow to isolate processes and process groups. With LXC it is possible to start either individual applications or complete Linux distributions in a container. These separate client and router applications very efficiently and thus ensure secure operation of both applications.
